What Additional Costs Does an Office Space in Amstelveen Have?

The additional costs of office space in Amstelveen depend heavily on the type of lease you choose. With a bare rental, service costs, energy costs, internet, cleaning, and sometimes furniture are added on top of the base price. With an all-in or serviced office, most of those costs are already included in one monthly amount. In this article, we answer the most frequently asked questions about the total costs of renting office space in Amstelveen, so you get a clear picture of what you actually pay.

What is typically not included in the bare rental price of an office?

The bare rental price only covers the use of the space itself. Everything needed to actually make the office work, you pay for separately. These are costs that add up quickly and that you as a tenant must organize and contract yourself.

What you typically do not get included with a bare rental:

Energy costs (electricity, heating, cooling)
Internet connection and telephony services
Cleaning of the office space
Furniture and furnishings
Access to meeting rooms
Reception or welcoming of visitors
Parking spaces (sometimes available to rent separately)
Security and access control
Coffee, tea, and other pantry costs

This means that as a tenant, you must find suppliers yourself, sign contracts, and take on the coordination. For a small company or a team of five people, that quickly becomes a time-consuming task that has nothing to do with your actual work.

How much in service costs do you pay on top of rent in Amstelveen?

With traditional office rental in Amstelveen, service costs typically range between 20% and 35% of the bare rental price. These costs cover shared facilities such as the maintenance of common areas, the elevator, heating, and sometimes security. Exact amounts vary by building and landlord.

What typically falls under service costs in a traditional office building?

Maintenance of common areas (corridors, entrance, toilets)
Elevator and installation maintenance
Collective heating or cooling of the building
Building security
Caretaker services

Note: service costs are often an advance payment. At the end of the year, a settlement follows based on actual costs. This can mean you pay extra, but also that you receive money back. When viewing a property, always ask for the historical service costs of the past two years so you know what to expect.

When renting office space in Amstelveen through a serviced office such as Kronenburg Offices, service costs are not a separate item. Everything is included in one all-in monthly amount, without annual settlements or surprises afterwards.

What is the difference between a bare rental and an all-in rental?

A bare rental is the base price for the use of the space, without extras. An all-in rental is a total price in which most or all additional costs are already included. The difference lies not only in convenience, but also in financial predictability and the time you spend on facilities management.

Bare rental: more control, more work

With a bare rental, you decide which suppliers you engage and what you spend on furnishings, internet, or cleaning. This can be advantageous if you have a large office and already have good contracts in place. For smaller businesses, however, the advantage of control rarely outweighs the additional administrative burden.

All-in rental: fixed monthly price, no surprises

With an all-in rental, such as with serviced offices, you pay one amount per month that covers everything. Think internet, cleaning, meeting rooms, reception, coffee, and 24/7 access. Every month you know exactly where you stand and you don’t have to arrange anything yourself. This is particularly practical for businesses that want to get started quickly or don’t have their own facilities department.

At Kronenburg Offices, it works exactly like this: one all-in monthly amount, including fiber internet, cleaning, access to meeting rooms, and a staffed reception. No separate invoices, no annual settlements.

Are there one-time costs when renting office space?

Yes, when renting office space you almost always encounter one-time costs. The most common are a security deposit, costs for furnishing or modifications to the space, and sometimes agency fees. The amount varies by type of office and landlord.

Common one-time costs with office rental:

Security deposit: Typically one to three months’ rent, depending on the landlord and the rental period
Furnishing costs: With a bare rental, you must arrange furniture, flooring, and lighting yourself. For an office of 50 m², this can quickly amount to several thousand euros
Modification costs: Want to move walls, add extra power outlets, or create your own server room? Then you pay for that yourself or in consultation with the landlord
Agency fees: When using an agent for mediation, you sometimes pay one month’s rent as a commission
Connection costs: Internet, telephony, and sometimes energy connections have start-up costs

With a turn-key office space, such as the units we offer, most of these one-time costs do not apply. The space is immediately move-in ready: you pay a security deposit and you can get started. Furniture is arranged to your specifications if desired, without you needing to find suppliers yourself.

What are the average total monthly costs for an office in Amstelveen?

The total monthly costs for an office in Amstelveen depend on the type of rental, the size of the space, and which facilities you need. As a rule of thumb, with a bare rental you can count on 30% to 50% extra on top of the bare rental price for all additional costs. With an all-in rental, the amount you see is the amount you pay.

By way of illustration, for an office of 25 m² to 85 m² in Amstelveen:

With a bare rental: rental price plus service costs, energy costs, internet, cleaning, and furnishings. The actual monthly cost is therefore significantly higher than the advertised price
With an all-in serviced office: one fixed monthly price that covers all of the above costs, without surprises

At Kronenburg Offices, our office units start from €1,250 per month for a space of 25 m², all-in. That is the price you pay, including internet, cleaning, meeting rooms, reception, and access to all facilities. No hidden costs, no annual settlements. For an office of 85 m², that rises to €4,250 per month, which for a team of six to ten people is a very workable price when you compare the total cost picture with a bare rental plus all additional costs.

Which costs are tax-deductible when renting office space?

When you rent office space for your business, the costs are in most cases fully deductible as business expenses. This applies to the rental price itself, but also to the additional costs such as internet, cleaning, and meeting rooms. The exact tax treatment depends on your legal structure and situation.

Deductible for entrepreneurs with a BV or sole proprietorship

If you rent office space through your BV or sole proprietorship, the rental costs and additional service costs are fully deductible as business expenses. This reduces your taxable profit. The VAT on the rent is in many cases also reclaimable, provided you are VAT-liable and the landlord offers VAT-inclusive rental. Not all landlords do this as standard, so always ask about this when viewing a property.

Chamber of Commerce registration and registered address

If your office address is also your official registered address with the Chamber of Commerce, this counts towards the business deductibility of the rental costs. A virtual office address can also be used as a Chamber of Commerce registered address. At Kronenburg Offices, we offer this through our virtual office in Amstelveen, which provides a professional business address without needing to rent a full office.

In 2026, always seek advice from a tax advisor or accountant regarding the tax treatment of office costs. The rules surrounding the work-related costs scheme, the VAT option for rental, and deductibility can vary per situation.
